Origins Book 3 Progress Update
It’s been a little while so I thought I would throw in a progress report on Origins book 3: Reformation.
I hoped by now to be done with the first draft, but life got in the way a bit: kid’s basketball, work, kids out of school for snow days, you know the drill. Plus I had to fight through a little writer’s block. When I went back over the writing some of it was really flat so I had to spend quite a bit of time rewriting whole sections to spice it up, add suspense, change the point of view. The good news is it all was time well spent and I really like where things have ended up with the three completed story lines.
I just have 1 plot line still to write and it is in the present times so a lot less research will be required, plus it features my favorite character to write so that should keep the writer’s block well at bay. I will be really disappointed with myself if I do not have this last section done by the end of March so I can star gluing it all together and clean up the transitions, dialogue, etc. in the second draft.
My realistic estimate for final release is early August. Yep, 4 months of editing and rewriting the same story. Makes you want to run right out and be an author doesn’t it? The end product will be well worth the wait though so be patient with me and the payoff will be worth your while.

I just loved Book 1 & 2. I've been searching for another book to read while I wait for book 3 to come out but can't find anything I like as much as the stories you have written. I miss reading about the characters and can't wait for book 3. Take your time though because it will be worth the wait!
August? You know, I'm not getting any younger. Guess I'll hit all those unread books. Maybe I have enough to last until then.
WISHING FOR AUGUST TO HURRY UP AND ARRIVE BUT HAVE PLENTY OF OTHER BOOKS AND THINGS THAT WILL BE ABLE TO KEEP ME BUSY TIL YOUR NEXT ONE COMES OUT...LOOKING SO FORWARD INTO READING MORE...
